“We are pleased to announce the Offering’s results. The proceeds from the rights issue will strengthen BioPorto’s capital resources, allowing the Company to advance its De Novo application for an NGAL test through review by the US Food and Drug Administration, grow revenues in Europe and other markets, and expand the total addressable market for NGAL tests in the US,” said Tony Pare, BioPorto’s Chief Executive Officer. “I would like to thank our shareholders and new investors, as well as the entire Board and members of the management team who participated in the Offering, for their support and continued trust in BioPorto.”

The Company expects to complete the Offering when payment of subscription amounts has taken place and the New Shares have been registered with the Danish Business Authority, currently expected to be Friday, June 23, 2023. The New Shares will be admitted to trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S under the Company’s permanent ISIN-code (DK0011048619) as soon as possible thereafter, currently expected to be no later than Monday, June 26, 2023.
As stated in company announcement no. 10 of May 30, 2023, the Offering may be withdrawn at any time prior to the registration of the capital increase relating to the Offering with the Danish Business Authority. Any such withdrawal would be notified via Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S.
